There was one sorority at A&M right before 1975 and that was Phi Mu. They were not on campus for very long.

hmmm, my freshman year was 1990 and though I did not go through rush that year I knew several people that did-I don't remember Aphi just colonizing (I think my rush book said they colonized in 75 but I will have to dig it out or maybe some lovely APhi member can answer the question on when the chapter was colonized?). They had a house on Athens (I went to their house during rush for the first couple of days so I know it was there-it is now the pi kappa phi house). They tried to reorganize in 1995 or 96-they sold or leased their house to Pi Kappa Phi (I am not sure if they still own this house TechAphi was a member of this chapter-she may know). They had a lodge for a couple of years and then closed all together. I can't answer the Phi Mu question except that during pledgeship we had to know every sorority that was on campus and there was no mention of Phi Mu ever being there. I know my rush book says that Delta Zeta was the first sorority but I will dig out to double check.
edit to say: found rush book-DZ was the first sorority est at A&M. The book did not say when Aphi was established.
